Rave On

As probably the least "typically" Raveonettes song I've heard in some time, this new tune of theirs is like the melancholy slow dance anthem for the prom-goer who got stood up. The buzzing guitars and muffled dueling co-crooners are submerged in the lonely, disordered melody in this plainly mellow tune - making it surprisingly effective and worth a listen. Unlike their boppity fuzz-rock ballads fit for date night or a dash about Londontown, this one's a little dark. And with lyrics like, "How we loved and how we tried and how we fell apart," it's a little intriguing. Enjoy!
